Bledsoe on Pearl Jam, Vanderjagt

“Very solid, best one in years,” he said Saturday at the end of a lengthy interview with reporters eager to explore his relationship with T.O. Bledsoe patiently answered every question, but he seemed to grow tired of the topic midway through the session. But when a television reporter asked him about Pearl Jam, Bledsoe perked up considerably.

T.O., of course, isn’t the only new Cowboy with a history of criticizing quarterbacks. Kicker Mike Vanderjagt ripped the Colts’ Peyton Manning a couple of years ago. Reminded of that incident, Bledsoe joked: “Vanderjagt. I got my eye on him,” then added, We played some golf and hung out a little bit. I don’t think I’ll have any problem there.”

The Cowboys have one practice today. It starts at 4 p.m. CST. Bill Parcells’ daily briefing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. CST.
